The space will be lined with over 100 shelves to display their permanent collection, in addition to special exhibits. Each model in the museum will be accompanied by a QR code which can be scanned using a smartphone to access more information about the structure, including photos of the completed work.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The <a href="http://archi-depot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Archi-Depot</a> museum originated from the Archi Depot Foundation (founded last year by Terrada Warehouse and Tokyo Design Center companies), with the core purpose of conveying to a general public the significance and artistry inherent to the architectural model-making process. Before opening the museum, the Foundation staged an exhibition at the 2015 Triennale di Milano.</p><p>Related on Archinect:</p><ul><li><a title="Brutal paper cut-outs (of real-life buildings)" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/149947831/brutal-paper-cut-outs-of-real-life-buildings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brutal paper cut-outs (of real-life buildings)</a></li><li><a title="Washington University in St. Louis to phase out styrene next fall, students express mixed reactions" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/149941413/washington-university-in-st-louis-to-phase-out-styrene-next-fall-students-express-mixed-reactions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Washington University in St. Louis to phase out styrene next fall, students express mixed reactions</a></li><li><a title="To preserve cultural memory, these Syrian refugees recreate lost monuments in miniature " href="http://archinect.com/news/article/145267758/to-preserve-cultural-memory-these-syrian-refugees-recreate-lost-monuments-in-miniature" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">To preserve cultural memory, these Syrian refugees recreate lost monuments in miniature</a></li><li><a title='Photo archive of "Blade Runner" model shop shows remarkably convincing replicants hard at work' href="http://archinect.com/news/article/123282173/photo-archive-of-blade-runner-model-shop-shows-remarkably-convincing-replicants-hard-at-work" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Photo archive of "Blade Runner" model shop shows remarkably convincing replicants hard at work</a></li><li><a title="Building Wes Anderson's "Grand Budapest Hotel" out of 50,000 Legos" href="http://archinect.com/news/article/102865833/building-wes-anderson-s-grand-budapest-hotel-out-of-50-000-legos" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Building Wes Anderson's "Grand Budapest Hotel" out of 50,000 Legos</a></li></ul>
